Memphis Slim's United recordings deserve special acknowledgment
because, to put it bluntly, they're his best. Delmark 710, Memphis
Slim U.S.A., presented the last two of his four United sessions.
Now The Come Back brings listeners the complete first
two sessions plus two auditions. There's much new to savor here
including eleven previously unissued tracks containing two real
revelations: super-guitarist Matt "Guitar" Murphy's first recorded
vocal "Cool Down Baby" also featuring a jaw-dropping guitar
intro, and the initial '52 version of "The Come Back" as a straight
slow blues lacking the stop time arrangement. Piano blues at
its best! 0-38153-0762-2-1
